Why are zen fetches modern legal but onslaught ones not?:(
Because modern decks consist of 8th edition and beyond. Onslaught was before 8th edition
I hate that

Who cares though? They still fetch the same lands. Sure you get a little better fixing but my {Arid Mesa} is still going to grab my {Hallowed Fountain} like I don't need a {Flooded Strand}

Ah, but if you need a blue source and you are at 3 life, you can't {arid mesa} into an {island}. ;)
True but that scenario happens so few times. Like of course if FS was legal you'd go for it but tbh it makes no difference.
Side note: A lot of pros want them to ban fetches in modern!!

? I'm confused :S lol
But ya Josh Utter-Leyton said that he'd love to ban them bc of a few reasons:
1. Shuffling takes too long
2. Mana is too good. If allows players to splash colors for 1 card in their SB (Ancient Grudge)
3. It drives ppl away from modern bc it's a huge price commitment. Ppl are used to $15 and under cards for standard and all of a sudden they need to drop $200 for a playset of LANDS!!

I think he means that fetches are such a big part of modern that banning them is "like banning modern" as a joke. Also, I agree with everything Josh Utter-Leyton said, especially since I don't want to buy Arid Mesas. :P
I just hate that two of the esper fetches are onslaught
